    It probably doesn’t do much, but I soak it in water with vinegar for 10 minutes.

      I assume the ratio is low enough on the vinegar that it doesn’t impact the taste?

      Can’t imagine it would hurt anything if it doesn’t affect the texture.

        Yup, 2-3 teaspoons in a bowl of water. I rinse it with water again after soaking and that washes away any sourness left behind.

            You should clarify that you have to use a particular kind of bleach heavily diluted, and that it’s only common practice in the Americas.

        I mean, if you want to include e.coli to your 10 pounds of bacteria, be my guest. Taking some precautions doesn’t hurt.
